Courtesy car and the 2021 Audi Q5 Technik

Courtesy car: the 2021 Audi Q5 Technik. Here is the car in plain words, and how renting one from CarmaCars works. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

A note on Farmbrook

We have no location in Farmbrook; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 544 km away. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Farmbrook.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Combined fuel use is 8.8 L/100 km: about 26 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.64, and a 300 km weekend about $40.92.

Who rents the Q5

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

What to expect from the Q5

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. With a length of 4.68 m, it counts as mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

What to have ready

Drivers 18 and older can rent with a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Drivers below 26 pay a fee each day of the rental, and older drivers pay none. Payment is by a card in your name, shown with your licence at pickup.

Three options cover damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your auto policy, a credit card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. A deposit is held for every rental, about 1 hour before you get the car. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.

A short online request with the car and your times gets things moving, at no cost. Next comes our offer, with the confirmed car and every charge on one page. Your card is charged only when you approve the offer.

Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.
